Has anyone tried the Abraxas Premium Batch Coarse that Mr. Snuff recently started selling again? It only has one review and must be old unless Abraxas opened shop again. Uncle Squinty gave rave reviews to a couple of other Abraxas snuffs after he rediscovered the jars after a couple of years. Hoping this holds true presently.

@tobaccobob I just got some Abraxas Premium Batch Coarse and Cerise and rehydrated them as you recommended. It worked great! They are both sublime. The tobacco flavor I find to be incredible- almost incomparable.

Recenly acquired some dried-out Abraxas Cerise and Premium Batch Coarse. I rehydrated indirectly with some success. The tobacco scent is absolutely superb, but based on reviews and descriptions, there seem to be flavors still lacking. Based on what I can tell, these snuffs were originally made with some kind of liquor. My hope is to recase these snuffs with some kind of liquor- to raise the moisture further and to bring the scents back to life. The key question is what kind to use. My first impulse would be to use cognac, but I want to leave the original flavorings intact. My concern about vodka or grain alcohol would be adding harshness. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks @bob and @Johnny for the suggestions. I added good cognac to the dried-out Cerise and Premium Batch Coarse and let the alcohol decant somewhat. It really does bring out the scent more. It's quite apparent that the scents were designed to be bound by fine liquor. The added moisture seems to have improved the nose feel as well.
